Beginner choosing amp help


Hi guys , I’m new to the hobby and needed some advice/help picking out an integrated amp or separates.I have Martin Logan motion 40s and a sub. I am currently using a Yamaha as 801. I was thinking about upgrading if it would be worth it. I would like to gain more detail/ clarity and more dynamics if possible without being harsh/ fatiguing. I’d like to stay in the 3 k range. I listen to 60% jazz and acoustic and a little bit of everything else. Mostly stream tidal and just getting into vinyl.I’ve heard good things about Parasound Hint 6 or the separates in this combo, Hegel 190, Belles soloist , or even a Yamaha as 1100. What are your opinions on those amps and will they achieve more clarity and detail? Would the difference be significant compared to what I have now? Thanks for all of the help!

I would suggest Aurender N100H as the digital source for streaming Tidal with the Luxman.  But the Luxman does not have an internal DAC, so you would have to get an external DAC.  If you want an integrated amp with internal DAC, then I would suggest the Hegel.  Also, a good USB cable like the Curious really makes a difference.
